To all 'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, JOHN J. PENHALLE- con, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mineral Point, in the county of lowa and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain newwand useful improvements in Radiators,

of which the followingv is a specification,`

reference being had therein to the accompanyihg drawing.

This invention relates to improvements in radiators, the present application being tiled to take the place of and as a continuation.

ot an application ytiled by me February 7 1916, Serial No. 76,674.

lt is the practice in the art to which the invention relates to, employ in connection with the radiator proper or core a separate outside casing that may be properly painted and nished, to the end that, as compared to directly painting the core, the painted or nished surface may be removed from the intimate influence of the heat created by the radiator in action, and thereby preserved.

rlhe object of the present invention is to provide improved means for fastening the radiator together with a separate outside shell or casing, to the frame of a motor vehicle that willy permit ot the quick-assembling and removal of the parts for the purpose of renewal, cleaning, or repair, the imy"proved construction being adapted to pirovide for the ready disconnection and removal of the outer shell or casing from the yradiator,'and the radiator or core from the vehicle frame.

Aurther object of the invention is to provide lfor detachably 'fasteningthe parts together to obtain a strong, durable construction andto yprevent; all looseness and play between the 'parts and rattling incident thereto. y A still :further object of the invention is to provide an improved construction ot the character referred to whichwill have a dnished and ornamental appearance.

A particularly important novel characteristic of the invention resides in the provision' ot, an independent positive connection `between the radiator .properl or core meme ber and the'vehicle trame, and the location ot said connection at a point near the base or lower portion of the core member and near the horizontal plane of the vehicle framing commonly employed whereby a se cure connection and anchorage of the core member to the vehicle frame against movement is obtained and the weight of the core member is supported directly upon the vehicle frame instead of upon the outer casing, the outer casing being thus relieved of all strains incident to supporting the core member, andthe employment of a relatively light casing structure being permitted. 'llhe special location of the independent connection between the core member and the trame near the base or lower portion of the core member obviates the necessity of employing additional brackets or supports extending upwardly from the vehicle frame. The improved construction permits of the use of a unitary core structure and a unitary casing structure continuous from top to bottom tacilitatng the assembling and removal oit the,

plurality of separate sections' connected together, and the continuous nature of the outer casing being also advanta eous as altfording a neat and ornamental nish.

rllhe invention with other objects and advantages thereof and the particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts comprising the same, will be understood from the tollowing detail description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof and illustrating one embodiment of the invention.

lin the drawings:

Fig. 5 is a side elevation with parts shown insection;

AFig. 3 is a front elevation with shown in section;

titl) Btl) ciic embodimentv of the invention shown, as will'appeal to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.l

Referring to the detail description of the drawings wherein like reference characters designate corresponding vparts throughout the several views, 1 designates the core or body of the radiator and 2 represents the separate outside shell or casing. The core or body 1 which is shown as a unitary structure is provided'near its base or lower portion at opposite sides thereof with outstanding supporting and securing flanges or lugs 1 These flanges may `be provided in an`y suitable way. In the particular construction villustrated in the drawings; the ianges are provided by angle plates, one member of the' plates being brazed, welded, or' otherwise suitably secured to the end walls of the core member and the other member of the plates extending horizontally away from lthe end walls and constituting the flange. The outside `shell or casing 2 which is shown as a unitary structure is open at its bottom and adapted to be slipped over the core or body 1. The casingI 2 is provided at its lower portion at opposite sides thereof with outstanding securing flanges 2- adapted to be superimposed upon the flanges or lugs 1 of the core or body 1. The core or body 41 and the outside`shell or casing 2 are' detachably secured to the vehicle frame by bolts 4: or like fastening means, the .flanges or lugs 1 of the core or body, the flanges 2 of the outside shell or casing, and the bars 3 of the vehicle frame being provided with suitable openings through which the fastening bolts pass. In the particular construction illustrated in the drawings a transverse supporting frame member 6 is provided having the depressed central portions 6 to receive the base' or lower portion of the core or body of the radiator, said frame being turned upwardly as at 7 to engage the end face of the base of the core member, and then turned outwardly as at 7 to afford the horizontal supporting end portions 72`which lie parallel.

with and to which are secured the flanges 1', 2 of the radiator core and outer casing, said end portions 72 being provided with suitable openings for the fastening members 4..

It will be observed that an independent positive connection is provided between the radiator proper or core member and the veicle frame,a secure connection and-anchorage of the core member to the vehicle frame against movement being afforded and the Weight of the core or body is supported directly upon the vehicle frame, the outer casing or shell being entirely free from all stress incident to supporting the core member or body. vThe independent connection of the core member with the vehicle frame is near the base or lower portion of the core and a unitary casing structure continuous` from top to bottom facilitating the quick assembling and removal of the parts, the outer casingbeing readily detachable and removable as a whole from the core member or body, and the core member or body read- 'ily disconnected from the frame and removable as a unit.

The outer casing 2 has the front outer marginal portions 8, 9 and 10, said marginal portlons extending in unbroken lines throughout, and the lower marginal portion 10 extending below the supporting and securing flanges 1', 2 of the core member 1 and. casing well down in front of theower front portion of the core and the intermediate depressed portion 7 of the supporting frame part 6 so that these parts are completely concealed from View and a finished and ornamental appearance presented.

In order to provide a rlgid: connection between the core and its outer casing to maintain the same in proper spaced rela tion and to prevent lost motion and rattling between the parts means on the core mem-v ber and casing is provided which is adapted to be brought intoengagement when the casing is placed over the core and to act to firmly bind the parts together. Said means is shown in the drawing as .comprising flanges 12 on the rear face of the core member. The flanges which are shown curved are disposed near the upper part ofthe core, one at each side thereof and they extend upwardly at an angle to the core face. In sliding the casing downwardly over and upon the corea flange 13 of the casing engages behind the flanges 12 of the core, and is wedged firmly between the core flanges and the adjacent face of the core, the parts being iirmly clamped together and held in proper spaced relation.
